West Penn Wire AQC291GY1000 22AWG 2C Shielded Audio Cable 1000ft

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE AQC291GY1000 is a 22 AWG, 2-conductor stranded shielded audio cable rated for both indoor and outdoor installation. The shield provides protection against electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for low-voltage audio signal runs where noise rejection is critical. Supplied on a 1000-foot reel, this gray-jacketed cable is a practical choice for contractors and AV technicians running permanent distributed audio systems. The stranded conductor construction offers flexibility during pulls through conduit or open-air runs.

This cable is designed for outdoor audio applications such as landscape speaker systems, commercial paging, and background music distribution where the cable must transition between interior and exterior environments. Installers working on hospitality, retail, or residential outdoor entertainment systems will find the 1000-foot reel length practical for larger projects requiring continuous runs without splices.

Key Features

• 22 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility in tight routing and conduit pulls
• Foil or braid shield for effective rejection of electromagnetic interference on audio signal runs
• Dual-rated for indoor and outdoor environments, suitable for direct exposure and conduit use
• Gray jacket for clean, neutral appearance in finished installations
• 1000-foot reel minimizes mid-run splices on larger distributed audio projects

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 22 AWG 2-conductor shielded cable for low-voltage indoor and outdoor audio distribution systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or AV technician in accordance with applicable NEC low-voltage wiring requirements. De-energize any connected audio equipment before terminating the cable. Maintain minimum bend radius during pulls to avoid compromising the shield continuity. For outdoor runs exposed to direct sunlight or burial, verify the jacket rating meets local code requirements for the intended application.
